The fourth novel of the galaxy-spanning Sun Eater series merges the
best of space opera and epic fantasy, as Hadrian Marlowe continues
down a path that can only end in fire. Hadrian Marlowe is trapped.
For nearly a century, he has been a guest of the Emperor, forced
into the role of advisor, a prisoner of his own legend. But the war
is changing. Mankind is losing. The Cielcin are spilling into human
space from the fringes, picking their targets with cunning
precision. The Great Prince Syriani Dorayaica is uniting their
clans, forging them into an army and threat the likes of which
mankind has never seen. And the Empire stands alone. Now the
Emperor has no choice but to give Hadrian Marlowe - once his
favorite knight - one more impossible task: journey across the
galaxy to the Lothrian Commonwealth and convince them to join the
war. But not all is as it seems, and Hadrian's journey will take
him far beyond the Empire, beyond the Commonwealth, impossibly deep
behind enemy lines.

wilderness. The Southern Reach, a secretive government agency, has
sent eleven expeditions to investigate Area X. One has ended in
mass suicide, another in a hail of gunfire, the eleventh in a fatal
cancer epidemic. Now four women embark on the twelfth expedition
into the unknown.
